First I am an old-fart myself.
But I do have to point out a few terminology problems.
pods – how cute, but I’ve worked in one for years, and in the general vernacular they are called cubicles. And a whole bunch of cubiles are called a ‘farm’.
podmates and ‘popping up’ – How uninformed Mr. Baker is, for there is an actual term for this too — ‘Prairie Dogging’. The act of more than one cubicle occuptant looking up over the cube farm.
At this point I would have to rate Mr. Baker either a D or possibly an F in the fundamentals of covering a story. Those two terms would be considered ‘background’. The guy lacks any since of the here and now. Hope his 401(k) is well stocked.
